Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Do you see that cross-section of peanut butter goodness? I am drooling as I type this.


Our supremely sweet-toothed "baby" brother's birthday was last weekend, and we decided there was no better way to send him back to school than armed with a disgusting amount of sweet treats.

College-aged metabolisms can handle the madness :)

I fear that I have set the bar pretty high for myself with the Slutty Brownies, so just any old cookie wouldn't do.


So I took the world's best chocolate chip cookie recipe, the Nestle Tollhouse classic, but only used half of the chocolate chips it called for. Then I squished a little Reeses baking square down into each spoonful and covered it with a smidge more dough.

The cookies were much bigger than usual to accommodate the Reeses so they took longer to bake, but it was worth the wait.

Without question, one of the best things I've ever made!

Slutty Brownies





Happy Saturday!

The Londoner is basically a genius with the best hair ever. I love all of her posts and recipes, but I've had her Slutty Brownies bookmarked for a long time to make for my baby bro. He's away at college, studying hard at nuclear engineering (proud sister alert!) and I thought today would be the perfect day to whip up a batch. Nothing like a triple dose of sugar to fuel his late night cram sessions studying, um, whatever it is that nuclear engineers do.

His incredible metabolism annoyingly balances out his incredible sweet tooth quite nicely, and I'm grateful that I have somewhere to send these off to so that I don't eat them all by myself. I did taste test just one (swear) and oh my goodness.

These are ridiculously easy, hence the name. I followed her recipe to a T, springing for the Double-Stuf version AND Ghirardelli brownie mix - nothing but the best for you, bro!
